I just wanted to make a little heads up that anyone who has commented on my blog posts, given feedback, etc., I promise I will return the favor as soon as I can!

I was offered an affiliate program recently and when I completed the application, the company told me they require a purchase of no less than $40 before you can be given a discount code?!
